Just curious, why can't the range readout be configured for imperial measurements? Or is it possible but just not a reality?
Hardcoded stuff. The digital display will only give back numbers in metric system. You only can work with textures, but numbers are not direct replacement for others in this case.

And there's also the problem of the display going only up to 9,999 meters. In reality American SJ radar units had ranges far beyond that.

Is there another link to this mod? Filefront link keeps returning an error message on both metric and imperial versions. I've searched SubSim download section and Beneath the Shadows (BTS) but had no luck.

Thanks in advance

Edit: Disregard. All is apparently good and right in the world of Filefront.

I'm not saying that Nisgeis's work on this mod is poor (quite the opposite, actually), but the range display is just not something that's coded to work properly with American radar displays.

You're going to add the mod to RFB without the digital range counter though, right? The fleet boat version of this mod already doesn't have the digi-counter anyway.

I really want an a-scope with finer markings. I've noticed that this one removes the stock (and historical) "logarithmallity" to the scale so it's strictly linear which is probably easier to make the fine markings for. I figure it is possible to make a logarithmic scale and finer markings at the same time but accuracy would be higher at shorter rangers than longer due to the scale squish.

Can anyone post a RFB compatible version or the instructions for editing the dats and sims for this mod so I can make such a version?

Exactly. That's why it was made linear (Thanks to Anvart, who assisted also on that).:smug:

The download includes already step-by-step instructions to make it compatible with any mod, using Silent 3ditor.

I know I tried the digital readout with TMO long ago. It worked overall, except I could no longer use sonar myself. It worked fine with the crew using it.

Yeah, opened my mouth before I opened the mod to read the files. That's always happening to me aren't you sympathetic? :haha::wah:

Frederf 08-31-09 02:25 AM

I got this mod merged and compatible with RFB1.52. Sent a request for Downloads contribute access. PM me for details or this thread till then.

LOL I have so many times answered with things that are in the readmes, that I have a notepad text file exclusively filled with sentences to copy and paste like "It's stated in the readme", "The readme contains those instructions", etc. :har:

Does anyone have a link to some bigger radar contact splotches? They aren't supposed to be so tiny like is shown in this thread. The radar's width was 5° or something so when the radar was pointed somewhere it lit up for the whole time. The dots should be about the size of 5° of the pie. Right now they're about 10x too small.

Frederf 09-08-09 01:30 AM

Small bump. I've made a RFB1.52 compatible version of this mod. Anyone interested?

Dimitrius07 09-15-09 01:05 PM

Hi Hitman.

Its seems i have to adress to you about some changes i made in Radar Combimod (nothing nasty :DL).

Here is what i changed
1.
http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/8148/scopebiring.jpg

I added more bearings, 10.20.30.... and so on. You get the picture.

2.
I made the numbers bigger. With the original TGA i can barely see them, maybe its my monitor fault :shifty:.

If its ok with Hitman, and someone wants to try thise out. I can upload. I have TMO 1.7 JSGME ready Imperial version ;)

Distortion 09-15-09 01:40 PM

@ Dimitrius

You can make me happy if you can upload it, I`v been waiting for this one.

Thanks!

Hitman 09-15-09 02:27 PM

Sure, no need even to ask permissions from me, as stated in the readme :up:

Nice job, I did not add more bearings and larger numbers to keep the historical looks as much as possible, but it sure looks nice :salute:

Dimitrius07 09-15-09 03:55 PM

Done!!! Thanks again Hitman for your reply :up:
http://www.filefront.com/14539181/Ra...EQ%20addon.rar (JSGME ready)

Keep in mind that you need the original Imperial version of the mod. Enable addon only after you enable Radar Combimod.

As Hitman mention the bearing indicators are not historycal correct, it was made by request. I`am appologies for any gramatic errors (just trying my best).
In any case.... Good hunting :ping:

Distortion 09-15-09 05:13 PM

Thank you guys for all the work!

Any chance for an upload somewhere? I would like an RFB compatible version

Frederf 10-11-09 08:05 PM

Here you go.

Dignan 01-15-12 08:59 PM

Does anyone have a TMO compatible version of this?

Lato79 02-16-16 07:56 PM

The download link is dead. Would love this mod :(
